Tossen

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 4 years

Tossen came to us via the police. An elderly lonely man was found dead in an apartment and had a cat that we took in on 1.12.25. Tossen had been with the man for a long time and was a bit skeptical when he first came in. Now he has been with a foster since then, and this is what the foster writes about him: Tossen is a very gentle cat, he never claws or bites. He can be lifted but will often just curl back up. He is happy to be petted when he feels like it, and likes to follow you around the house. A bit skeptical of new people and places, but explores at his own pace. He likes to be out in the sun and always keeps close by. Before I took him in, he lived in an apartment with an elderly man (as an indoor cat). I don't know how he is around children, but given how calm and gentle he is, it should go well as long as he has a place to retreat to. Tossen is now neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is estimated to be around 4 years old. Would you like to meet him?

Tossen kom til oss via politiet. En eldre enslig mann ble funnet død i en leilighet og hadde en katt som vi tok inn 1.12.25. Tossen hadde stort sett vært alene med mannen og var litt skeptisk da han kom inn. Nå har han vært hos en forvert siden, og dette skriver forverten om han: Tossen er en veldig snill katt, klorer eller biter aldri. Han kan løftes men vil fort ned igjen. Han er glad i kos når han føler for det, og dilter gjerne etter deg rundt i huset. Litt skeptisk til nye folk og steder, og utforsker i sitt eget tempo. Han liker å være ute i sola og holder seg alltid i nærheten. Før jeg tok han inn så bodde han i leilighet hos en eldre mann (innekatt).Jeg vet derfor ikke hvordan han er rundt barn, men mtp hvor rolig og snill han er så går nok det fint, så lenge han har et sted han kan trekke seg tilbake. Tossen er nå kastrert, chippet og vaksinert. Han er anslått til å være ca 4 år. Vil du hilse på han? Send Pm eller mail.

About Tossen

What life with Tossen looks like

Tossen is an adult mixed breed cat waiting at Dyrebeskyttelsen Kristiansand in Norway.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇳🇴Adopting from Norway

Norwegian rescues require thorough background checks. Animals leave with a Nordic pet passport and full vetting. Norway is outside the EU so import rules differ slightly — TRACES applies.

Frequently asked

Adopting Tossen, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Tossen?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dyrebeskyttelsen Kristiansand handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Tossen on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Tossen if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dyrebeskyttelsen Kristiansand will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Tossen already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Tossen isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dyrebeskyttelsen Kristiansand early rather than rehoming privately; they know Tossen and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (NO). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
